Yea...I always plan on lifting 4 months straight then taking a couple wks off but seems the strength increases and the doing more and more sets takes its toll. I have to give the body a break(CNS etc..)sooner. If I go off for more than 2 wks then every day is more difficult to get back in the gym.

Its a core lift when you are born with a Spina' Biphida, otherwise known as a whole in your spine that nerves hang out of. Not to mention that being over forty my back is not even half of what it was at its best.
